Oklahoma State vs Kansas State Prediction 1-7-25 College Basketball Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Kansas State vs Oklahoma State Prediction for this college basketball game on Tuesday, January 7th, at the Gallagher-Iba Arena. Let’s take a look at a Kansas State Wildcats vs Oklahoma State Cowboys Pick. 

The home team has won the last two games played between the two teams. Last February it was Oklahoma State that was able to secure the 75-72. 

Kansas State has Struggled

Remember earlier in the season when Kansas State looked like a team that could compete for the Big 12 and they spent all that money in NIL to try and improve the team. It appears those dreams are all but dead and they are coming off another loss in the last game. Kansas State’s offense scored only 62 points against TCU, and that wasn’t enough as they ended up losing by one point. Dug McDaniel was the top offensive player putting up 12 points, five assists, and three rebounds. There were four different players that put up at least 10 points. Two games ago against Cincinnati, they won, but it still wasn’t all that dominant and they ended up losing 70-67. 

Away from home this season, Kansas State has gone 0-3 straight up. Kansas State is averaging 76.2 points while their defense is giving up 70.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 162nd in the league while the defense is ranked 151st. David N’Guessan is averaging 13.3 points while shooting 66.4 percent from the field. 

Oklahoma State Has Issues

Oklahoma State has issues heading into this game and they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago against Houston, they ended up losing 60-47 and in the last game against West Virginia they scored only 50 points while their defense gave up 69 points. The Cowboys shot only 33.3 percent from the field and 14.3 percent from behind the three-point line. Marcellus Avery had a strong game, putting up 15 points, five rebounds, and one assist. Even with his offensive game, the offense just wasn’t good enough for the team, and they are going to need to find a way to get the offense going. 

Oklahoma State is averaging 74.2 points while their defense is giving up 73.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 220th in the league while the defense is ranked 236th. Avery has been the top player averaging 12.55 points while shooting 40.8 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from behind the three-point line. After this game, Oklahoma State will head on the road to take on Utah.

Kansas State vs Oklahoma State Prediction

Oklahoma State looked awful in the last game, but I really just don’t trust this Kansas State team. Kansas State’s defense is giving up 70.1 points per game and even an inconsistent offense in Oklahoma State is going to have no issue running up the score here. Kansas State is going to really struggle to get the offense going here, and Oklahoma State is going to cruise here. Back Oklahoma State to win this game and cover the spread.
